Marvel Team Up #69 - John Byrne art

Marvel Team-Up v1 #69, 1978 - Similar to their first encounter in X-men #56, the mutant Havok becomes a prisoner of the Living Pharaoh. Spider-man intervenes but without success. John Byrne's energetic pencils are sometimes drained by Richard Villamonte's inconsistent inks. Some of the character faces lack confidence in their delineation. Despite this, Byrne's action scenes maintain their artistry and enthusiasm (see interior page below). Other artists in this issue include Dave Cockrum (cover). This is number 14 of 22 Marvel Team-Up issues with Byrne art and/or covers.- - - - - - - - - -"Night of the Living God" Byrne story pencils (Richard Villamonte inks) 17 pages = **
